  • Building a strong development function to attract the necessary financial resources to achieve our vision

Revised HCW Mission
We transform the lives of impoverished children through partnerships and programs of excellence.

Program Visions (next five years)

Mercy Hospital
Achieve a measurable decrease in the infant and maternal mortality rates in Sierra Leone by providing holistic, community-focused care regardless of ability to pay.  To accomplish this, we will transform Mercy Hospital into a world class center of medical excellence supported by intensive community outreach, a new surgical center, health worker training, and research in maternal and child health.

Child Rescue Center
Transform the existing Child Rescue Center programs into a replicable and sustainable program of excellence designed to gradually repatriate the child survivors of forced labor into nurturing families in local communities.
